Track Pulse Alerts in Datadog
Add Datadog as an Alerting Destination
Configure the Alerting Destination
Overview
Pulse is a monitoring and optimization platform for Elasticsearch and OpenSearch clusters. It detects issues, tracks performance, delivers smart alerts, and recommendations to keep your search infrastructure healthy.
The integration ingests Pulse alerts as Datadog Events, enabling teams to centralize alert management, correlate issues with metrics and logs, and streamline incident response.
Pulse shares the following data with Datadog:
- Alert title, severity, and description
- Triggered and resolved timestamps
- Cluster, nodes, and indices names
By connecting Pulse to Datadog, users gain full visibility into search performance and can respond to issues faster within existing workflows.
Setup
In Pulse, navigate to the Events & Alerts tab in your cluster’s page.
Click Add destinations and select Datadog.
Select your Datadog region from the dropdown.
Paste your Datadog API key.
Optionally, add tags separated by commas or spaces.
Select the alert severities you want to forward (Critical, Warning, and/or Informative).
Click Send test alert to verify setup.
Uninstallation
In Pulse, navigate to the Events & Alerts tab in your cluster’s page.
Scroll down to the Datadog card and click the trash icon in the bottom right corner.
